Savory purple pods with a nutty sweetness.

About Pole, Carminat

What a perfectly delicious moment of summer magic! Warmed by the summer sun, we take in the nutty-sweet bean fragrance of the 8-9' bean plant before us. We linger to admire the delicate, vibrant green vines-ornamented with hundreds of rich, almost iridescent, purple pods-meandering up a trellis, rustling slightly in the warm summer breeze. Now we get down to business, gathering handfuls of 'Carminat's slender purple pods 8-9" long pods. Turning green once cooked, beans' rich flavor adds texture and nutty flavor to soups, stews, and salads. Or simply sauté, braise or steam them for a few minutes, add a little butter, and enjoy.
